Description

Lauroyl-L-glutamic acid is a cationic surfactant with a hydroxy group. It is used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in oil solutions. This product also has the ability to chelate metal ions, such as calcium carbonate and iron. The product is primarily used in the manufacture of paints, plastics, coatings and adhesives. Lauroyl-L-glutamic acid has been shown to have a primary amino group that can react with another molecule containing a carboxylic acid group. This reaction produces hydrogen bonds that form gels or solids in water.
